And Mr Ogg said: “Mr Monaghan knows the Lyons family, grew up and played
football with them. But his name did not even appear on that list. So, who’s
behind it?

“It’s still an open inquiry. It’s not over until it’s over.”

The charges against dad-of-one Monaghan, below left, a slater from
Penilee, Glasgow, were dropped after Mr Ogg and his team demolished the
prosecution case.

One senior detective last night slammed colleagues, saying: “There were more
holes in the police case than there were in Gerbil.”

Mr Ogg added: “There was no identification evidence. No forensics. No CCTV. No
confession. No sudden wealth. No effort to flee the country. No change in
his behaviour.

“DNA they found on one of the guns amounted to one tenth of a billionth of one
gram and was very qualified, according to the Crown’s OWN
expert and did not place Mr Monaghan in the ASDA car park.” Mr Ogg described
Carroll’s murder as a “slick, cool hit”.

The hood died instantly when he was shot as he sat in a black Audi at the
Asda in Robroyston, Glasgow, in 2010.

The lawyer praised cops and prosecution for their hard work. He said: “It
would’ve been easy for them to say good riddance to bad rubbish.”
